Long slide: When complete, a water slide in Escape Theme Park in Penang, Malaysia, might be the longest in the world. It will be a whopper of a slide, taking adventurers on a four-minute, 1,140m ride down a hillside through the jungle. At the bottom, sliders will be dumped into a big swimming pool. Builders of the slide are concerned about the environment, so they decided to use the natural hill rather than build a tower. They are working around the trees to avoid cutting them down and are manually transporting materials instead of using heavy machinery.

Jail birds: Twin brothers in Turkey did something unexplainable.

One of the bothers agreed to secretly switch places with the other brother, a convict in the E Tipi Kapasi Prison in Mersin. They managed to make the switch during a visit. Later, prison guards realised that something wasn't quite right with their charge. Upon investigation, police found the real inmate in his brother's home.

Now, both brothers are in jail, and authorities are at a loss to explain why the free brother would agree to take the criminal brother's place in jail.

Loyal friend: A golden retriever in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is extremely loyal to her owner. The dog, named Sheila, has been waiting patiently for more than a year at a police station where her owner was arrested. The police think she managed to follow the police car in which her owner was transported after his crime. The officers at the station are taking good care of the loyal canine, feeding her and taking her to the vet when necessary. They have even allowed her to spend a bit of time with her owner in his cell.

Everyone expects that, when the man is released, Sheila will go home with him to be by his side.

Big tip: Servers in restaurants are always grateful to receive generous tips. One waitress in Clearwater Beach in Florida USA was happily overwhelmed by an enormous tip left by a customer who was, evidently, quite wealthy. However, the giver of the $5,000 tip on a small restaurant bill turned out to be a vindictive thief who was out for revenge against her boyfriend. Serina Wolfe, the customer, had gotten into an argument with her beau and decided to get back at him by using his credit card to give the big tip.

Wolfe was arrested for theft.
